Fountain Gate CC Program Manager
On May 21, 2013
Fountain Gate launched the second year of its internship program with the
addition of two new interns to the family. Jessica Bello and Bruce Knight are
graduate level interns from Richmont Graduate University in the Master of Arts
in Marriage and Family Therapy (MAMFT) Program. As we welcome our counselors
into the fold we would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the
second of our interns in this newsletter.
Jessica Bello, Clinical Intern |
Please welcome our new intern…Jessica Bello.
Jessica Bello, was
born the normal Orange County California girl; she grew up loving the sunshine
and fast paced American lifestyle, quite the opposite of her traditional Colombian
parents.
Even as a child
Jessica had a desire for helping others and enjoyed observing how people
communicated with one another. It was this desire that eventually led to Jessica
become a school teacher working with elementary and middle-school children in
both Colombia and Georgia. Yet it was Jessica’s Christian faith that would lead
to her most important steps of becoming a pastor’s wife and seeking a career in
counseling.
In 2008, Jessica
thought her life was all planned out; she had just married her husband of two
weeks, David (Youth Pastor at Iglesia Nuevo Horizonte Church) and was looking
forward to settling into a bright future. However, Jessica’s life was turned
upside down upon hearing that her mother, Bertha, who now lived in Colombia, was
diagnosed with cancer.
